*1. The contact resistance was measured with 10 mA at 1 VDC with a voltage drop method.
*2. The insulation resistance was measured with a 500 VDC megohmmeter applied to the same parts as those used for checking the dielectric strength (except
between the set and reset coil).
*3. This value was measured at a switching frequency of 60 operations/min and the criterion of contact resistance is 50 Ω. This value may vary, depending on
switching frequency, operating conditions, expected reliability level of the relay, etc. It is always recommended to double-check relay suitability under actual load
conditions.
